Obituaries (December 9)

Richmond Snell
Chenango American, September 25, 1862
A soldier named Richmond Snell, in Company A, Captain Curtis, 114th Regiment, died in Baltimore on the 12th inst., of typhoid fever.  He was a native of Coventry [Chenango Co., NY].

Lovina Baker
Chenango Telegraph, April 27, 1859
BAKER:  In Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], on the 9th inst., Mrs. Lovina Baker, aged 94 years and 13 days.  Aged puritan, thou art gone from these shores of trial, trouble, sin and sorrow to a better home.  Peacefully and happily hast thou lived during thy long pilgrimage, because thy every duty has been religiously done.  Deceased was a native of Massachusetts, and at an early day was married to Joseph Baker. they resided in Massachusetts until their family had grown up around them and were settled in life, but believing that they could better their circumstances by so doing, they removed to Guilford, Chenango Co., where Joseph Baker died the 2d day of Jan. 1850, aged 94 years.  And now she who is the subject of this notice is taken at the same age (nearly) and by the same disease--making a remarkable coincidence. They both lived a practical example of vital piety striving to do their whole duty as husband and wife, as father and mother, as members of society at large and as members of the Congregational church.  Deceased was always sought as a companion by old and young and middle aged because of the kindness and amiability of her nature and because the likeness of Christ was reflected in her every act, thought, and word. We sorrow because we shall not have her example or counsel more, yet we rejoice when we reflect hat at last she has arrived at the realms of eternal bliss and that she has left her example and precepts behind that we may profit thereby. We trust that all who knew her will be better for having lived within the light of her holy example and presence.  Joseph and Lovina Baker both retained their mental vigor until the last.
